...best teams in the North, and this year the record on the southern trip gives promise of similar success. Such victories won by a team in the face of discouraging lack of interest show the same kind of spirit which has made Harvard comparatively successful recently in the more popular branches of intercollegiate sport. We do not like to appear with the time-honored and conventional formula, "We urge every member of the University to support the team," but we believe that la-cross deserves more attention than it now receives.
